East Ayrshire Council Charitable Trusts

East Ayrshire Council is responsible for a number of Trusts which were established following former gifts of monies from various individuals for particular purposes. In gifting the monies to the Council, the individuals made specific conditions as to how it should be spent. As such, each Trust has a specific clientele, some of which is restricted. Examples of the Trusts are:

Miss Annie Smith Mair Trust

This Trust provides assistance to individuals in need, who were born in, or currently reside in, Newmilns. Over 100 people have benefited from the Trust fund in recent years, through the provision of contributions to household essentials, minor home and/or garden maintenance works and adaptations, clothing, mobility and personal aids, short breaks and small donations for living expenses.
